Summary: "In Modeling with Mathematics, the author shows that math is most powerful when it means something to students. She provides clear, friendly guidance for teachers to use authentic modeling projects in their classrooms and help their students develop key problem-solving skills including: - collecting data and formulating a mathematical model - interpreting results and comparing them to reality - learning to communicate their solutions in meaningful ways. Through detailed examples and hands-on activities, the author shows how to guide the students to become active participants in mathematical explorations who are able to answer the question, "What did I just figure out?" Her approach values all students as important contributors and shows how instruction focused on mathematical modeling engages every learner regardless of their prior history of success or failure in math." -- Provided by publisher.
